MM is just about on the hot seat

Then I prefer being delusional. It is so much more fun looking forward to Sunday knowing we are going to kick ***. Now thinking we were going to beat the Pats with a backup QB and half the original starters may have been delusional, but thinking we had a CHANCE of beating them IMO is not.

Great! I thought we only had two games left.

Just a personal thought...isn't this topic a liitle old? Week after week of bashing even when the Packers win.

Let the season play out and then put focus on MM, trades, draft choices.

Merry Christmas.

Under McCarthy, the Packers are 5-15 in games decided by a touchdown or less. They lack the mental toughness to win close games against quality opponents. I believe this is the coaching staff's fault, and it won't be rectified until McCarthy is fired.

Can we stop the MM hot seat thing?

If the Packers fail to win another game this season, which I believe is going to happen, then McCarthy and Thompson should both be on the proverbial "hot seat"!

That's because when we get a lead we play conservative defense and very conservative offense. Ever notice we stop blitzing when we're up by a couple scores and sit in a cover2 or zone all day? Our close games can be won with proper game calling. Hell, nothing wrong with pulling a beli-cheat and running up the score. That way we ensure they don't come back and win lol

for whatever reason i cant see them losing 4 straight games. idk. even if we lose to the Giants i feel like we'll beat the Bears.

I may be wrong, but don't think we can afford to get beat by the Giants. We could get beat by Chicago and still back in to the playoffs if the Giants get beat by Washington the last week. Get beat by the Giants and we are out. Anyone?

if we lose to the Giants we're out of the playoffs

if we beat the Giants and lose to the Bears then the Giants must lose to the Redskins and we'd get in

If we win both games we're in

obviously the easiest way to get in would be to win both games, but yes if we lose to the Giants then we are done.

I would be more worried if they weren't home games, but as it is the Pack has a slight edges. No worries :happy0005:

Sanchez probably isn't going to play against the Bears, that means they'll win that game. They hold the tie-breaker over the Eagles, if they win out, they earn the second seed and a first round bye. We already know that the Packers ar going to lose to the Giants, so that will make four straight losses.

I just read something said Sanchez may be good to go, but at least that game doesn't matter as far as GB making the playoffs, but I'd rather they play Chicago. Of course they did beat the Eagles with no Vick. What would be great is that NO could fall to 6 seed (miracle) and Tampa would have to beat NO at the end but wouldn't it be sweet to be #5 and play the rams, or SF or Seattle? Just realized we are off topic.

This is quite comfortably the funniest post I've seen since I've been here. Not long of course, but if you can rank at the top it's gotta be funny.
They lack the "mental toughness"????????????????
Let me ask you this, have you ever been shot at?
OK, too hard,
have you ever had to feed three children on 20/K a year?
Wait, still too hard,
Have you ever been unemployed in a competitive market?
OK, last question, have you ever been a coddled professional football player?
Let's be honest, coaches have to get the players to buy into the system, but I'll not fault coaches if players are not inclined to help. Coach McCarthy has players coming from all areas of free agency, he has them playing well and committed to his plan.
What, exactly, would you suggest his flaw in coaching is?
How do you get the most expansive collective team, more free agents and backups to have "mental toughness"
I really, really want to know.

All I know is that the Packers have shown a complete inability to win close games during McCarthy's tenure as head coach. Virtually all of these losses have been because of critical errors at key moments in games. If you don't want to attribute these losses to a lack of focus, a lack of mental toughness, then what accounts for it? The head coach is ultimately responsible for his team's performance on the field, he has to have them ready to play 60 minutes of football, not 55 or 58, 60. Under this coach the Packers have been unable to consistently play 60 minutes of error-free football against a quality opponent. That failure is going to cost them a shot at the playoffs despite having a roster filled with playoff caliber talent. Some of us are incensed over this fact, and some of you keep making excuses for McCarthy. There is, however, absolutley nothing humorous about this situation!

that would make how many games the bears played this season against backup qbs? they arent gonna play backup qbs in the playoffs
